Knowing ahead of time what you might encounter can help you avoid it, and this is especially helpful if you don't wish to be swept by the crowds at a local protest! The protest could be political in nature, or about something else. Either way, as a tourist it is best to avoid such circumstances and just enjoy your holiday.

Research about scams and crimes in your destination country from travel bloggers and reviews. For example, a common scam in Peru involves someone asking if you have change, then giving you counterfeit bills. Another most recent example is how a group of tourists fell victim to buying a non-existent tour package in Bangkok.

When you find yourself alone in unfamiliar places, try your best to fit in by altering your behaviour to seem like you know the whereabouts of the land.

People in poorer countries often think of tourists as wealthy. So avoid brand-name clothing, even if it’s common in your country. You might that find your 'regular' Adidas shoes cost twice the monthly wage of the average local.

Fill an extra wallet with an expired driver’s license or cards, and a little bit of cash. If a mugger demands your wallet, hand over the decoy. They'd be hurrying to get away, so it’s unlikely they’ll check expiration dates.

In many countries, people ask about your marital status. While some want to help you find love, most see your singleness as an opportunity. Wearing a ring might deter opportunistic singles, or anyone who's wary that your spouse will show up any time.

It’s easy to spot tourists, because they stare in awe of all things new. Remember though, to you, it’s new, but to the locals, it’s normal. You don't have to act unimpressed, but don’t get distracted and let your guard down.

Body language that communicates confidence is an important deterrent to crime. People who look scared make easy targets, so walk with a posture of authority: shoulders up, chest out, back straight, eyes forward like you know exactly where you’re going.

When a local asks where you’re staying, name the neighbourhood instead of your hotel. If you feel uncomfortable, lie. If the cab driver creeps you out, have him drop you a block or two away from your hotel, and wait for him to leave before going home.
